I can attest to the quality of Kevin's work. Most importantly, he is careful and honestly cares that everything is done right. He will also explain everything he's doing, if you want to know. I bought an expensive clutch and waited five months to get it. Kevin was the ONLY person I trusted to install it just before autocross Nationals. I couldn't afford to have a problem in Topeka.

Unlike many tuners, he doesn't mind if you watch and even help out if you choose to. I wanted to be involved in my clutch install so I could see everything and it was fine with Kevin. I've also had the boost leak fix done and it was telling (I needed the weld of the upper intercooler pipe ). The throttle body shaft rebuild Kevin did, fixed a one year-old problem for me with a sticking throttle butterfly. Some other people wondered how I could even drive the car previously.

Kevin has also done street gas and race gas tunes for me, requiring tuning of the factory ECU and my UTEC, and I could not be happier. When you're running 28psi, it had better be done right and it is. I drive the car daily and race in BSP autocross, so things need to hold up. Kevin's engineering background and experience with open-wheel race cars, gives him the technical knowledge and methodical approach to find problems and he keeps investigating until he finds the cause.

I must continue to emphasize the quality of Kevin's work. I am very particular when I do my own work modifying the Evo. Kevin shows the same care and attention to detail as I would myself. Thanks Kevin for the great work.

Mark

thanks for the compliments mark, and everyone else who has said such good words! it really means a lot


now to hear what kelly has to say :P i still haven't figured out what is wrong with his autronic, i actually had to recommend he take it to alamo and see what they think , sense they were the ones who installed it and they were the ones who built his motor.
